By Tina Hilding,Voiland College of Engineering and ArchitecturePULLMAN, Wash. A Washington State University research team is solving a high-tech waste problem while addressing the environmental challenge of stormwater speed-off.
The researchers beget shown they can greatly strengthen permeable pavements by adding waste carbon fiber composite fabric. Their recycling method, or described in the March issue of the Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering,doesnt require using much energy or chemicals — a critical factor for recycling waste materials.
